Straightening tube/valve pins

I could never find out what an interocitor was, appearing in sci-films of yore. Now older and wiser I know it is Mcguffin-like as was Spike Milligan's cans of Snibbo.

"Stand back... Further, please..."

It's from "This Island Earth", a silly film with a few nice moments. Rex Reason makes a good alien. ("Mozart? Ah, yes... Your composer.")

In the animated version of "The Coneheads", Beldar communicates with the home world using an interocitor.

Note how the poster anticipates the "Forbidden Planet" poster.

I've only read part of the original novel, which appeared to be (surprise!) superior to the movie. The upcoming remake will hopefully be a significant improvement.

(surprise!)

I'm sure an interociter made a mention in "Plan 9 from outer Space" as well. A classic film of its type.
